| Is she to young? Im kinda wondering if I should maybe go ahead and take Taylah to her 1st official grooming session yet. I mean, when I first got her, I took her in to be shaved on her ears, nails trimmed and hiney-cut and they did somethign to her eye hair to help on her tearing... but Im starting to wonder if its time for her *real* grooming for her coat. Sometimes I look at her and see long kinda strangly hair, is this normal or is it time for a trim if Im kinda keeping her body hair short? My plan is to keep her body hair short and trimmed, but her face kinda long or rounded, not sure, but do you think 14/15 weeks is still to early? or is this the way her hair is suppose to look you think? I know that maybe its still her puppy coat and all but just wondering if I shoudl get it trimmed up a bit ?

| Personally, I would not take her until her puppy shots were finished. I tend to err on the side of caution, and I do not use a groomer, so maybe others can give better advice. I do know that where dogs congregate there also congregates the bad buggies that can make your little one sick. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I took Cali at about 4 months after all shots and I found a groomer who took her after all her other dogs left and did her in 45 minutes. It worked out very well. I would definately wait until all shots are completed and find a groomer who will groom her in a short period of time. |

| Can you get a groomer to come to your home? I think that is best for the puppy and you. |

| Yeah, she is getting all her shots done on Friday. So she will be done then. So it will be afterwards.. Thats a great idea with them coming to my home--not sure if they do that or not, but with what happned last time she was there just for her little things I'd feel better abotu that! (mine was the one that was passed around the whole time she was there)

| The shot would take a while to kick in so I would not do it soon after the last shot. I am not sure how long you should wait though. Maybe someone else have a better idea. Or maybe you can ask your vet during the visit. Last edited by amyann; 11-21-2005 at 05:49 PM. |
